Screw waiting for the justice system.

i absolutely love what she did. i can't think of a better thing to happen to him than dying in agony at the hands of one of the people he hurt.

legally speaking, it was right of them to arrest her. it was an act of revenge, not defense. though if i were her, they could execute me for all i cared, i'd just be glad i gave him what he deserved. death as a punishment for people like him is one of the things that i think shouldn't be enforced by the law, but is just morally right in select cases.

Whether you feel she was justified or not, it was still an act of revenge and
it was still against Spanish law. I know how the families of rape victims feel,
but revenge is never the answer. Let the law take its course. Of course, I
know my opinion on this is not going to be popluar, but it is the right opinion
regardless of how other people on here feel and I know Janice would fully
agree with me.

I don't blame her for what she did. That pervert deserved it. A parent has the right to protect his or her child by any means neccessary.

While I don't blame her for what she did, she still was outside the law when
she did it. Anger at injustice does not excuse violating the laws of your
country.

This is no surprise, Everytime a story like this is posted you always see things from the side of the law and unless someone in your family has been a rape victim (and I hope they haven't) then you can't really say you know how they feel.

That is not fair, Zoneboy. I try to see things from both sides-the law and the
victims of these crimes. What I am just trying to say is that there is still law
and without law there would be no kind of order at all. What is it with a large
number people on here who think that the law should be just whatever law
they decide? I thank god we do not live in such a society and that we live
in a society with laws and with god. God will one day judge those who do
evil and will punish them if they have not repented of their sins.

I also think there are people on here who enjoy posting stories like this just
to see what kind of reaction these stories get. That sort of thing makes me
sad and disturbs me.

read the article, he already did his time and he was continuing to taunt the mother about what he did.

indeed it was right of them to arrest her and i'm not saying you should personally believe that revenge is right, but the least you can do is have empathy for other people. you've clearly never experienced raging emotions such as what the mother of the rape victim was feeling, so don't judge.

Exactly. I'm not promoting vigilantes, but life isn't black and white. There's a lot of gray in matters like this.

MickeyMac · 02-26-2009, 09:09 PM

I have to admit I am all in favor of vigilante justice. The reason people call the police is because they have guns. Cut the middle man out and solve the problem yourself, and the will free the police to address other issues. Not saying everyone should do that, but it is an option.

Now thats just my view only.

Janice · 02-26-2009, 10:05 PM

People don't have to experience a situation to have an opinion. To say so, it would need apply to every discussion thread. Lee's right, that's not fair to put that stipulation on this debate. If I had a daughter, and this happened, there's a good chance that I'd light the guy on fire. I'd still be wrong. Vigilante justice doesn't work. I don't to revert back to the lawless times of the Wild Wild West, and that's where it would end up over time. I don't want a society where people can light lunatics on fire. Sure, we all get an adrenaline rush when we read these stories, but vigilantism is not the way to go.

There are too many animals in this world, so who decides who gets punished and how they're punished? You can't allow one case, and not others. There are too many variables, too many opportunites for things to go wrong, i.e., mistaken identities, avengers who are disturbed themselves, false claims for revenge (a scorned woman, a teenager mad at a teacher or another student, etc). Too many opportunities for people to make up stories. What if the guy standing next to the rapist caught fire too, or if the bar caught fire and a dozen innocent people died, would she still be a hero? What if the relatives of those dozen people decided to extract revenge? Where does it end? For every one act of revenge that goes right, 100 can go dreadfully wrong. Again, who decides? Our justice system is far from perfect, but it's the best we have, in my opinion.
